Independent Variable: Hieght of playerDependent Variable: Foul Shots madeImportance of StudyIt is important to know whether a players height affects his foul shooting so that we know how fair the game is. This is mostly beneficial to recruiters looking for the best players. ESPN. ESPN Internet Ventures, n.d. Web. 02 Mar. 2015.<http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/free-throws/sort/freeThrowPct>We used these websites to obtain our data.Y= -0.007X + 1.345Interpretations:Y-intercept: 0.9822912The y-in represents the foul shot percentage when the height is 0. X-intercept: 1399.555733The height required for the foul shot % to be zero.Slope: -0.0022625For every inch taller, the foul shot % decreased by -0.0022625. ConclusionBy:Raisa VazquezR- Correlation Coefficientr= -0.2033673365Correlation is a weak negativeThe moment of TruthThe data did not support my hypothesis. As the height of the basketball player increased, the Foul shot % decreased. ConfidenceIn my opinion, my trend line was accurate because its equation came close to the regression line's calculated equation.InterpolationSuppose a player was 85 inches tall, what would his foul shooting percentage be? y= -0.0022626(85)+.982291y= -.192321+ .982291y= .78997His foul shot percentage would be .78997ExtrapolationSuppose a player's height was 91 inches. What would his foul shooting percentage be then? y= -0.0022626(91)+.982291y= -0.2058966+ .98229y= 0.7763His foul shot percentage would be .7763. CausationIt is causation because the foul shot %is caused by the NBA player's height. Also because the correlation between the two variables is very weak. Real life connectionPeople can use these results to find out if a specific player has an advantage over other players because of his height. Also, NBA recruiters can use this information to seek for the players who are most likely better at making foul shots.
